Lyrics

Last thing I remember that chamber was slender I'm straight razor shaven then taped up with sensors Restraints made of leather, tubes fed through a sender My anus, my penis, my sinuses entered Rotated perpendicular to the center The temperature dropped, locked in life support tethers When I first enlisted this seemed like adventure But sleeping for this long now sounds like forever The lights and the bleeps and my heart rate all faded To nothingness, gave in to full hibernation I've waited and waited for ages in stasis Today is the day I awaken Wake up! Rise and shine Wipe the night's sleep from your eyes Make the donuts, now's the time Yawn and stretch and come alive Wake up! Straight away Smell the coffee, face the rays Up and at 'em, no delay Carpe diem, seize the day Now that I've awakened in space without aging My muscles in atrophy, everything's aching My first steps are taken on legs that are shaking Then find my mind seized by these crises I take in The temperature's rising, the climate is changing And millions infected with biblical plague, and Our leaders have shamelessly strained race relations This can't be the future, someone was mistaken This world and its people were meant to get better But things are much worse now by every known measure If I had endeavored to foresee such terror I would have just slept for forever Wake up! Rise and shine Wipe the night's sleep from your eyes Make the donuts, now's the time Yawn and stretch and come alive Wake up! Straight away Smell the coffee, face the rays Up and at 'em, no delay Carpe diem, seize the day Like a full-grown newborn kicking through a new door Thinking that I might have been a fool for Booking me a one-way ticket to travel To a cruel stop dropped on my top like an anvil It's a new dawn, new day, better get the bed made It's a new goddamn decade Traded inventory of a life that I left For a horrifying house as mortifying as death Get up I'm up
